HEAD, NECK & SHOE PROTECTION

Even with all engineering controls the removal of a mercury dental filling will release mercury contaminated particulate matter which can stay airborne for up to 10 minutes, eventually landing on surfaces and flooring. Implementing head coverings that also covers the neck area will protect skin from mercury exposure.

THE NECESSITY OF UTILIZING FACE SHIELDS & SAFETY GLASSES

Studies have shown that even with engineering controls such as water and high volume suction, that the removal of mercury dental fillings generates mercury contaminated particulate matter. Some of these particles will bypass suction controls and be deposited on the face and neck of the dentist and assistant, where it will continue to off gas or be absorbed into the skin, thus exposing dental professionals after their respirators have been removed. Faceshields are a vital component to preventing mercury particulate from landing on the face and neck of dental professionals. Likewise, safety glasses will protect your eyes. Faceshields with protection drapes will provide added protection from mercury particulate matter. Faceshields will be contaminated after each mercury filling removal and thus are one time use items, so please order a monthly amount equal to the number of amalgam removal sessions you perform each month. Any items present during an amalgam removal that will be reused should undergo thorough cleaning to remove mercury.

Face-It Shields are packaged and shipped in a case of 100 and should be used with every amalgam removal. Disposable Face-It, Face Shields provide a barrier from mercury particulate matter for dental personnel when removing mercury dental fillings. Face-It Shields are comfortable to wear, with an elastic band to secure the disposable Face-It Shield and a foam forehead pad to provide comfort during use. All shield models use a robust 7.5 mil anti-fogged, crystal clear plastic, are latex-free, CE-marked, and are manufactured to ISO-certified standards.

Face-It Shields are packaged and shipped in a cases of 100 and should be used with every mercury amalgam filling removal.

The Face-It Shield with Drape is ideal for dental personnel to use as an added barrier from mercury contaminated particulate matter generated during the removal of amalgam fillings. Face-It Shields are comfortable to wear, with an elastic band to secure the disposable Face-It Shield and a foam forehead pad to provide comfort during use.

HAND PROTECTION: THICK NITRILE GLOVES

A dentists’ hands are at the source point of mercury exposure during the removal of an amalgam filling. Even with all engineering controls, large amounts of mercury have been measured on the gloves of dental staff after removal of an amalgam filling. OSHA designates a skin notation for mercury absorption, thus we offer thick nitrile gloves from 6 millimeters up to 8 millimeters.

Raven powder-free nitrile exam grade disposable gloves are 6 mil thick for durability and 9.5″ in length for added protection and are sold 100 gloves per box. Textured fingers allows for a superior grip of pneumatic tools. Gloves are non-latex and provide excellent sensitivity. Raven Nitrile gloves provide protection for dentists’ hands, which are closest to the source of mercury exposure when removing mercury amalgam dental fillings. Mercury can be absorbed by the skin, thus the hands must be adequately protected. Since mercury passes through latex more easily, only 6-mil and higher Nitrile gloves should be used. Additionally many mercury-safe dentists apply Hgx Cream to their Nitrile gloves for added protection against mercury particulate.
